LinX CGM – accurate and smart glucose monitoring for everyday use

Imagine being able to track your glucose levels continuously, without painful finger pricks, and see how your body responds to food, exercise, or stress. That’s exactly what LinX CGM offers – a modern, reliable, and user-friendly continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system that helps adults with diabetes take control of their health more accurately than ever before. Plus, you have access to glucose history, trends, and the ability to share with your doctor and family members (up to 20 people).

What is LinX CGMS?

LinX CGM is a continuous glucose monitoring solution that consists of a sensor and a mobile app. The sensor measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid and automatically sends the data to a smartphone. The system provides real-time information, alerts for hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, and helps adjust treatment in both the short and long term.

Key benefits of LinX CGM

• Real-time data – automatically updated every minute, without the need to scan the sensor.
• Calibration is not mandatory – factory calibrated, but manual calibration is also possible as needed.
• Duration of use up to 15 days with one sensor.
• Discreet design – only 22 mm diameter, 4.2 mm thickness, 2.2 g weight.
• Waterproof (IP68) – safe for showering or swimming up to 1.5 m deep for up to 30 minutes.
• Low daily costs – optimized lifetime ensures cost-effectiveness.
• Automatic alerts on critical levels and trends.
• Transparent mobile app – clear glucose history, trends, the ability to share data with a doctor and other connected persons.

The importance of continuous glucose monitoring

Traditional indicators only reflect average glucose levels, but do not show diurnal fluctuations. These are the ones that often cause episodes of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and late complications.
Continuous monitoring allows you to see trends, anticipate changes and react in a timely manner. Moreover, since the measurements are automatic, everyday life becomes easier and more convenient. This gives you the opportunity to make adjustments in your daily life to improve your quality of life.

How the LinX CGM System Works

A CGM system consists of two parts – a sensor and a smart device. The sensor measures glucose levels in the intercellular fluid and sends the data to an app, which allows you to see your levels “here and now”.
LinX CGM data is updated automatically, which transmits information without any user intervention. This means that the user does not have to remember to take measurements, which significantly improves the rhythm of daily life.

Data that helps control diabetes

The continuous glucose monitoring system allows you to calculate several important indicators:

• Time in Range (TIR) ​​– time spent in the target range (e.g. 3.9–10 mmol/L).
• Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia time – how long glucose levels have been too low or too high.
• Average glucose levels and glucose variability , which reflect fluctuations and risks.

This data helps both doctors and patients better tailor therapy, improve quality of life, and reduce the risk of complications.

Continuous glucose monitoring is no longer a technology of the future – it is a solution of today that can significantly facilitate the daily life of a diabetic patient and improve disease control. Although these devices are not yet reimbursed for adults in Latvia, the accuracy, convenience, and safety they provide prove that the investment is worth it.

It is important to know that sensor calibration should not be performed 30-45 minutes after eating, as glucose levels in the intercellular fluid rise more slowly than in the blood.
